Rose Garden
During the restoration of Boschendal in the 1980’s, the internationally acclaimed rose garden was established on the eastern slopes of the grounds.
Designed by Gwen Fagan, an authority on old gardens in the Cape, the garden features many of the original rose bushes that were cultivated.
This space is ideal for a beautiful wedding ceremony or picnic style function.
Capacity: The grounds can easily hold 100 guests either seated on chairs or with beautiful picnic blankets.
